The Miser by Molière. Paris' Must-See Satire.

From the King of Farce himself, this play by Jean Baptiste Poquelin, otherwise known as Molière, is now playing in one of Paris' most elusive venues, Théâtre le Ranelagh, a hidden gem tucked away in the posh 16th arrondissement of Paris

In true Molière fashion, ‘The Miser' is splendidly satirical, a mockery of the French bourgeoisie, and a matchmaking scheme gone terribly wrong. Seeing a play by Molière is a must-do for anyone appreciative of French literature and culture, as Molière is known as the “Shakespeare of France”, and was the favourite playwright of King Louis XIV. The Miser will have you doubled over in laughter from curtain up to curtain call.

The Théâtre Edouard VII is a chic venue with a rich history (think Orson Welles, Eartha Kitt, Picasso…), and located just a stone's throw away form the Opéra Garnier, in the heart of Paris' theatre district.

The contemporary plays here are often the subject of Parisian buzz in the theatre community, as they always star Parisian celebrities, famous for their roles in cinema or on TV. Now playing at the Théâtre Edouard VII is ‘Real Life', a modern-day vaudeville starring three major French cinema stars, one of whom starred alongside Diane Kruger and Léa Seydoux in the 2012 award-winning film “Farewell My Queen”.
